…And memory of the place has burnt its brand in the little brains of all the Lemming Kings…

I do what I want, I get good grades.

Where the hell is the time going? This is the slowest week EVER and yet it is already the end of March. WTF? Like 10 minutes ago the pavlova sewalong started and it’s already over. And, SURPRISE!, I have not stitched one piece of fabric for it. ::Heavy sigh::…

I suppose I was doomed to failure from the beginning. Firstly, I suck mop with deadlines. Secondly, I didn’t buy material for the top and receive it until the sew along already started (and oh, pretreating my fabric when I live with no washer of my own is ANNOYING (pronounced annoyinGUH) ). And I was all set to do the skirt first while my fusible webbing tape and horsehair braid arrived (which didn’t get here until the sew along was over)…and then pfft! March madness, dog had surgery, the 9 to 5 job crazy long commute home, and The Beloved building a flying machine at the kitchen table…which is where I sew. So, though I had a majority of the top cut out during the sew along I didn’t actually sew any of it together. Wah wah.

I’m hoping to do some of it this weekend. Sunday, is a bust because of Easter…but hopefully Saturday I will make progress. That is unless the weather is good for flying the newly made flying machine. lol.

I really want to get going on sewing up some garments…the pavlova separates obviously are top on the list and ready for sewing, I have a ‘wearable muslin’ cut out for tiramisu waiting to be sewn up, a muslin for the elisalex bodice, and fabric to prewash for an elisalex dress and two fabrics to prewash for a reversalex. Wait until I show you those. One is going to pretty much be a copy of the elisalex that Roisin did (the post id March 15th…and I have super duper undying love for it I tell you!) and the other is just going to be two sided AWESOMENESS yet to be revealed. lol.

And then there’s the list of non-clothing related items waiting to be made: two more cat blankets to sew (one of three down woot!), a curtain panel to make, tiramisu and pavlova pattern bag kits, hemming the livingroom curtains (I don’t actually want to do this but they kind of need it according to The Beloved) and making a curtain for the kitchen window.
